2020 COVID-19 PANDEMIC
During the 2020 Corona Virus Pandemic Jeremy felt stuck creatively, and decided to explore a new career path as a user experience designer. In 2021 Jeremy moved to Austin to work at a creative agency, shortly after experiencing periods of anxiety and discrimination he left the agency to explore other creative opportunities. In 2022 He landed a new role working at a heavy hitting creative agency in Austin. It was there he learned more about the business of advertising, accounts, and how to get things done.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
After learning the ropes of advertisement and being inspired by Austin’s local artist he wanted to honor his own photographic and creative work by entering into local art galleries. In the fall of 2022, after struggling to receive art residencies he decided to create his own photography exhibit titled “ATATIVE” which was an acronym for “A thoughtful and therapeutic inner-viewing experience,” The exhibit brought artists and musicians and a crowd of Austin locals. Jeremy continues to align his purpose in creating work that would bring people together in the name of art, love, and unity. In March of 2023 Jeremy created Jeremysbox LLC.
